Document origin not in 0,0,0

I’ve got a rhino model from a client and I’m struggling with the coordinate system.

It looks like they’ve changed the coordinate system somehow, and I’m unable to change it back.

To illustrate this, I created a point at 0,0,0. But when I check the point’s properties, it shows a different location.

How can I change it so the origin is at 0,0,0 again?

Hi,

The dot you have placed is at 0,0,0 - but that is the origin of the current CPlane, which in this case is not at the World Origin. To place the point at the World Origin you needed to type the position W0,0,0.

If you want to reset the CPlane to the World Origin, go to the Viewport Properties, and choose Set Cplane, followed by World Top.

Note that as the current CPlane may be important, before changing it you may wish to save it as a Named Cplane.

That worked. Thank you!

Also the shorthand w0 for w0,0,0 will do to.
